After class, I went to the American Bookstore in Marienplatz to pick up “The Gift” for book club and when I arrived in the square, they were setting up for the Christmas Market. I cannot believe it is already this time of year and that in just a few weeks we will have been living here for two months. Also, I am really looking forward to seeing all the markets around Munich as I guess there are over twenty in the city.
On my way, I had to stop and pick up our mail key which we dropped off to be copied this past Saturday. I had a feeling this was going to be a struggle since the guy did not provide us a ticket or take our name, but I went with it. So when I walked in, I noticed that it was a different worker and the first thing I said was “Hallo, sprechen Sie Englisch” and his response was “sprechen Sie Turkish?” My face must have been priceless as he then said “a little.” After about 10 minutes of just trying to communicate and locate our key, he found it and made our copies. However, he could only make one and said to come back tomorrow. Not sure why and I do not think I will be returning.
Off to study for my final exam, which is tomorrow and I really do not want to go as it is an interview, writing an email, listening and multiple choice. I am going to fail.
